All American Outdoors

19 Days,
Seattle to Los Angeles

Hear that? The All-American Outdoors is calling!

Visiting 1 country: USA

Mother Nature fans, step right up. Boy, do we have a treat in store for you! Forget city slicking – this All-American Outdoors adventure is the stuff backpackers’ dreams are made of. We’re talking mountains. We’re talking forests. We’re talking canyons, geysers and more. Is that a moose? Probably! We’re in the heart of the American countryside, after all. Breathe deep and taste that fresh air before we arrive in Vegas and San Fran for the grand finale. This is one for the history books.

Seattle

Day two in Seattle and we’ve got a visit to the iconic Space Needle all lined up for you. Wanna do some optional kayaking? Your wish is our command.

Day 5:
Yellowstone National Park

Quick fact: Yellowstone not only packs canyons, mountains and forests, but it’s also home to two thirds of the world’s geysers. That’s some serious shiz. Spend the day losing (and finding) yourself in this beautiful chunk of American countryside. Anyone for a round of spot the grizzly?

On your second day in this lil’ slice of paradise, you can choose between optional horseback riding, whitewater rafting and paragliding. Or maybe just try them all? Whatever you do, get outside and get exploring! That fresh mountain air isn’t going to breathe itself.

Day 8:
Jackson Hole to Salt Lake City, Utah

Next up, we set our sights on Utah’s fine-looking capital: Salt Lake City. After we’ve got our bearings on a driving tour, you’re free to check out Temple Square, the Red Butte Arboretum and Hogle Zoo.

Salt Lake City to Arches National Park

We’re rollin’ onto Moab, the home of Arches National Park, today. But first: a pit stop at Park City. Nestled amid the craggy Wasatch Mountains, this place is (unsurprisingly) a skiing and snowboarding wonderland in the winter months. And in the summer? Well, there’s ziplining, comet bobsledding and a thrill-seeking lil’ option called the Alpine Coaster to get involved with.

Arches National Park

What will we see at Arches National Park? We’ll give you one guess. That’s right, this place has natural red stone archways for days – over 2,000 of them, in fact. Take a stroll around and soak up the otherworldly vibes. Top tip: the sunsets here are unreal.

Arches National Park to Grand Canyon Region

Before we hit the Grand Canyon, there’s just enough time to squeeze in a jeep tour of Monument Valley with a super knowledgeable Navajo guide. The sacred heartland of the Navajo people, this rugged landscape has acted as the backdrop to a ton of classic Western movies. Feeling starstruck yet?

It’s time to bring out the big guns. Get ready to make memories that last a lifetime as we get up close and personal with one of the seven natural wonders of the world. That’s right, today’s the day we crack on to the one, the only... Grand Canyon. Jaw-dropping heli-tour: optional. *Goosebumps*
